Air-Frying Pork Fillet: Is It Possible?

Yes, you can cook pork fillet in an air fryer. It's a quick and easy way to cook a tender and juicy cut of pork. You'll need to dry the pork fillet and cut it into pieces that will fit into your air fryer. Drizzle oil and seasoning over the pork, and place the pieces into the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between each piece so the air can circulate. Cook for 13 minutes at 200C/390F, and check that the meat is cooked through by making a cut and checking that it's nearly white in the centre of the thickest part.

Cooking time

Yes, you can cook pork fillet in an air fryer. The cooking time will depend on the size of the fillet and how well done you want it. For a 450g/1lb pork fillet, cook for 13 minutes at 200c/390f for a slight blush of pink in the centre. For zero pink, add another 2 minutes. If you want to turn the fillet halfway through, you can do so after 8 minutes.

If you are cooking a larger or smaller fillet, you will need to adjust the cooking time accordingly. If your air fryer tends to cook more quickly than most recipes suggest, reduce the cooking time slightly. If you find that it cooks more slowly, you may need to cook for a little longer.

To reheat cooked pork fillet in the air fryer, use the rule of cooking for around 1/3 of the original cooking time at the same temperature. For example, if you originally cooked the pork for 13 minutes, reheat it for around 6 minutes at 200c/390f. Check that it is piping hot all the way through and cook for longer if needed.

Temperature

Yes, you can cook pork fillet in an air fryer. The temperature you should cook it at is 200C/390F. This is the same temperature you should use to reheat the pork fillet.

The cooking time for a 450g/1lb pork fillet is 13 minutes, which will leave a slight blush of pink in the very centre of the fillets. If you want to ensure there is no pink, add another two minutes to the cooking time. If you want to turn the pork fillet halfway through, you can do so after eight minutes.

If you are reheating the pork fillet, the rule of thumb is to cook it for around 1/3 of the cooking time at the same temperature. So, for a 450g/1lb pork fillet, reheat it in the air fryer for around six minutes at 200C/390F. Check that it is piping hot all the way through and cook for longer if needed.

Storage

Yes, you can cook pork fillet in an air fryer. To store cooked pork fillet, place it in an airtight container in the fridge, where it will last for up to four days. You can also freeze it, but it's best to wrap it well.

To retain the most juice, store the cooked tenderloin whole and reheat it before slicing. Reheating in an air fryer will take around a third of the cooking time at the same temperature. For example, if you cooked the pork fillet for 13 minutes at 200C/390F, reheat it for around six minutes at the same temperature. Check that it is piping hot all the way through and cook for longer if needed. You can also reheat it in the microwave or in a pan on the stove.

Hey everyone! I'm new to the group and wanted to share my experience of cooking pork fillet in an air fryer. I was a bit nervous about trying it, but it was actually really easy and the results were delicious!

I followed a recipe that I found online, which said to start by drying the pork fillet and then cutting it in half so it would fit in the air fryer comfortably. I then drizzled over some oil and seasoning and tossed it to coat the meat. I placed the pork into the air fryer basket, making sure to leave a little space between each piece so the air could circulate. I cooked it for 13 minutes at 200c/390f, and it came out perfectly!

I was also happy to discover that cooked pork fillet can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or frozen for later. And reheating is a breeze - just pop it back in the air fryer for around 1/3 of the original cooking time at the same temperature.

Has anyone else tried cooking pork fillet in their air fryer? Any tips or tricks to share? I'd love to hear about your experiences!
